Capital and Labor.

Under the "Declaration of Independ-
ence,' "that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights arises
the mysterious and all absorbing prob.
lem, the capital and labor question.
All men are born equal, but Immediate
ly thereafter the dividing lines fall by
fortune or fate into their pathway
Fastening some to distinction, wealth
and renown, others to success in life,
and still others TO poverty, destitution
aud obscurity. Perhaps to this latter
class belongs the great majority of man
kind. The question still further arises,
is this unequal condition the result by
divine decree, by legislation, or, by
personal effort on the one hand, and
deliberate Indifference on the other?
One thing is advisable, to-wit: that
any person of fortune may retrograde
by exertion, on the downward road,
even to obscurity. But 1t is not possi-
bic that the average individual may
rise from obscurity to wealth and dis
tinction,,,by his own exertions under all
adverse circumstances where the line
of fate, whatever it may be, crossed
his pathway.
This is the general rule, to which
there are some noble exceptions. All
men are born equal but all men are
not born to equal opportunities, and,
hence it is not possible for all men
to create for the mselves equal oppor-
tunitles. With equal opportunities
many who are destined to obscurity
would far outstrip many who are born
to destiny. But, the origin of the con-
dition of social and intellectual Unequal
ity may not result from the same caus-
es as the pecuniary unequal condition
If mankind. The former is due, more
TO taste, inclination and Unsuitable
thirst for knowledge, while the latter
is the result of covetousness and greed
for gain, which scruple not at extor-
tion, unjust advantages, theft and rob-
berry, until accumulated capital becomes
enthroned with power and influence
sufficient to attract recognition and
control legislation in behalf of its own
selfish interest when there no longer
seems way to check Its career, or
break its power The general tendency
of capital is to concentrate, naturally
gravitating to the larger bulk, and un-
less this principle be checked, or de-
stroyed, may eventually all be "gobbled
up by general and local syndicates.
All the varied interests are in conflict
and in competition with each other,
and the weaker either suff' RS, or sue
cumbs to the strong The whole ten
dency Of business rivalry is continually
to grasp more firmly and surely, hold
upon the public, surprising all previous
efforts. And thus poor, struggling aud
suffering humanity is continually being
left more and more in the back ground,
Instead of a Declaration of Indepen-
dence," which means everything the
words detipe, and under which our
forefathers achieved their independence
it ia rapidly approaching declaration
of impoverished dependence upon capi-
tai for support by the masses of our
once independent people. j.
